BRUTALITY.

The Horrible Cruelty Of Death by the
Hands of a Spanish Executioner.
The condemned man mechanically
yielded himself up to the executioner.
The latter made him sit down at the
foot of the post with his back to it, and
then tied his hands and feet hard and
fast. He did all this without hurrying
himself in the least, and with all that
dignified indifference which character
ICES the Spanish f~unctionary in the dis
charge of his duty. If the preparations
had lasted even a few seconds longer,
l believe I should have lost my own self
control. 1 could hear my heart thump-
ing in my breast, and every moment or
two something like a veil came before
my eyes. You could not hear even a
whisper in the crowd. While one of
the priests pressed a crucifix to the
colorless lips of the sufferer, another
was murmuring words of consolation
and hope into his ear. But the wretch
ed man was not listening. His express
sionless face had a waxen pallor, and
his eyes, as they wandered over

already seemed dim with the dim
ness of death. He started consid-
erably when the executioner placed
the iron collar about his neck, and l
observed his mouth contract. Then,
however, a white covering thrown over
his features hid them from further OBJ
servation. The executioner then gave
two Of three turns of the screw con-
nected with the instrument of death.
The bones of the neck cracked; a long
trembling ran through the whole body;
the arms twisted outward, the legs in
ward. Alvarez Olivia was dead.
The priests took Of their square caps
as to salute the soul passing by; and
the executioner removed the covering
that concealed the dead mans face.
The face which had been so pallid a
moment before was now purple. The
tumifed tongue protruded from the
mouth and the bloody eyes had spurted
out of their sockets. The head had fallen
slightly toward the right shoulder, and
the black inter with a white cross that
had been placed upon it seemed about
to fall off. The crowd ebbed away
silently, evidently much affected, while
two gendarmes with rifles mounted
guard at the foot of the scaffold where
the corpse was to remain until evening
when the corporation of female public
mourners would escort it to the Gem
etery of executed criminals, with long
piercing cries of lamentation like the
yu! yu! yu! of Arab womeu.-Madrid

GETTING ON IN LIFE

How . Young Schemes Won the Erienos
ship of q Wealthy Lady.
IChicago Journal
A young lawyer who recently located in
Chicago is fresh from Brooklyn, N. Y. He
adopted a rather novel and winning method
Of getting on in the world when he wanted
to complete his education and had nothing
Of his to defray expense with. He as
sumed the role Of goodman and went
among the homes Of the wealthy to find
employment. He was at once engaged to
serve a widow lady who had no family Of
her own to care for. This young man, hav-
ing graduated from a Western college, was
quite a cultured fellow, as the Lady soon dis
covered. She managed to talk with him
frequently and in a few months he had SO
won her good esteem that the coachman's
livery was exchanged for a different attire,
and he became secretary and private man
ager of her everyday business affairs.
The young schemer then pressed the point
that he wished to study law. He was given
an opportunity with a good preceptor and
all expenses paid, and made his home in
his former employers house. The same
lady sent him to Europe for q year, and
finally gratifed his ambition to practice
law in Chicago by sending her protege:t to
this city fully equipped for his profession.
The curious part Of it is that the entire case
developed just as the young man planned
when he went in search of a rich employer.

GROW H BEST.

Why Fruit-Growers Should Raise No In
ferior Varieties of Fruits. -
Will it pay to raise any thing but the
best? Does it pay to 60 on, year after
year, cultivating and using inferior
fruits when it is just as easy and much
more profitable to raise the best? The
best is good enough for any one, and
nothing but the best is good enough.
In saying the best we mean the best
the climate, the soil and the circum-
stances surrounding one will enable
one to raise. The fruit that will be the
best for one may not be the bestfor an
other; there is, in other words, no alb
solute best-one that in all places and
all circumstances is the best-but there
is something better in all classes of
fruits than the varieties our fathers
raised. Especially is this rue of APP
pies, %currants and berries. In some
States varieties were grown years
ago that, unless a boys love for APP
pies has deceived us, have not been ex-
celled; but these are few in number and
limited in area. In the newer States
"a GhC bAiooiooiPpl NdilCy hOW Aiuio
adapted to the conditions of climate
and soil had to be found. Many of the
standard sorts could not be grown with
success, and new varieties were intro
duced. 1t goes without saying that the
varieties have been improved wonder
fully in the years of trial. He who
clings to the old sorts is making a seri-
Gus mistake. In currants there is such
an improvement that the old sorts and
the new M are like entirely different
fruits. The improvement is not only
in size, but in bearing qualities and
flavor of the berry. Currants are SO
cheap that no one should cling to the
old sorts simply because he has them.
The new ones should be set, and, when
grown, take the place of the old ones.
This is also true of most of the berries.
In the raspberries there is no compar-
ison between the new and old sorts.
There is no reason why any one should
not have all the fruit he wants in the
garden, and in sufficient variety and
quantity to last the season through,
and that of the best varieties raised

Marriage in Holland.

Until the betrothal of the young lady
has been announced she remains the
sole charge of her father and mother,
and she makes acquaintance always in
the presence of a third party. The Hol-
land young lady does not go to the the
alter with a gentleman who has been in
troduced to her a week before, neither
does she vary her beau to suit her dress
or complexion. Unmarried daughters
in this country are chaperoned to all
places of amusement; even dancing
parties r i~nterspersed with songs,
recitations. ETC., for the amusement of
elders of the family, who sit around
tables, socially slipping their coffee,
wine or other favorite beverages, while
the young members glide over the
waxen floor to the fitful strains of
music. Here the young must make the
best of their opportunities. for when it
pleases the parents to seek the quiet
solace of the home the daughters also
quit the gayety of the ballroom

the great good she has done by means Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
She writes Mrs. Pinkham Of a recent in

came to me suffering with a severe case Of
Prolapsus and liberation. She commenced
taking the Compound and in two months
was fully restored. In proof Of this she soon
found herself in an interesting condition.
Influenced by foolish friends she attempted
to evade the responsibilities of maternity.
After ten or twelve days she came to me
again and she was indeed in a most alarm

a tablespoonful Of the compound every
hour for eight hours until she fell asleep,
she awoke much relieved and evidently
better. She continued taking b Com

timely use of the medicine she believes her
